I couldn't get the internal USR to work. I did the isapnp, and it set up the modem correctly. I then did a "/setserial/ttyS2", and the UART was unknown, so the subsequent /setserial command may have set the port correctly, but didn't get the modem working. I tried every possible combination I could think of, but could not get the modem working at all.
Am I missing something? I run (1) isapnp, (2) setserial (3) minicom to test the modem. That should be it, correct? If there is any information I could give that would help, please let me know. Thanks again for everyone's help.
Thanks,
